We're almost two weeks into 2013 and whether you've made New
Year's resolutions or just looking for a way to better organize
your ongoing goals, we’ve got
apps to help
you get – and stay -- on track this year.

Organize Your Work and Personal Life.Dropbox allows you to store files, photos
and videos in the cloud and access them on all of your
devices. It also allows you to share files with business
partners, customers and service providers. Atlanta-based
personal productivity expert Peggy Duncan recommends Dropbox
to her clients. "The key to using it is to organize files the
right way," Duncan says.

She suggests using broad categories and then narrowing them down
into files (for example: Administrative, HR, Legal, Marketing,
etc.). By creating a file structure, Duncan says, "people find
what they need when they need it, without looking through rows of
search results." To protect sensitive data, Duncan recommends
using a free apps like AxCrypt or
Wickr to
encrypt files. Wickr and AxCrypt are only available for iOS at
this time, while Dropbox is available for iOS and Android.

Gain control of your health and fitness.
One of the most popular weight loss apps, MyFitnessPal allows you to track
calories and fat burned and how much exercise you've logged.
It helps you maintain or lose weight by imputing basic
information such as your current height and weight and how
many pounds you want to lose per week. The app then calculates
how many calories and fat grams you can consume each day to
meet that goal. Available for iOS and Android.

Revamp your to do list.Do is an easy to use "social productivity
app" designed to help you get your work done by organizing all
of your projects, tasks, and bringing everyone involved in one
place. You can invite colleagues, customers, lawyers and
accountants to participate in separate projects, and control
who can see each project.

The app also lets you track deals in the pipeline as well as
communicate with key people involved in various projects. You can
also create task lists and invite team members to the list to
participate in a newsfeed regarding the status of each task.
Available for iOS and Android.

Brainstorm more effectively.
If you're a more visual person, check out SimpleMind+ (for iOS) and Mindmaps Lite (for Android). These
apps allow you to create "maps" or visual representations of
your ideas by arranging, color coding and changing shapes of
text bubbles to help with decision making or organizing
elements of a project or new idea. To change connections
between ideas, simply tap and drag the text bubbles to
arrange. You can export the maps to share with colleagues or
business associates.
